My fuel pump went out on my 2000 V6 3.8L Camaro, and now I'm searching around the world for one that will fit a V6. I was wondering should I replace it with a performance pump such as a Walbro high pressure pump or with a stock one like a AC delco. If I should go stock, does any know a good pump I can get that's NOT $300??!?! Thanks.

For the GM pump, was the quoted price for the pump itself, or the entire drop in assembly? A high flow aftermarket pump would probably run you around 130 bucks. You could also try a GM wholesale parts supplier and might have more luck finding a GM pump cheaper. http://shbox.com/1/4th_gen_tech2.html#Dal_and_Jason

^Yea, I tried that link before and called, they didn't have the part for my model. I'm just asking should I replace the old fuel pump with a stock or performance pump, and from where for a good price.

You could go either direction, its not going to really matter. The performance pump would at least make a good base for any future mods if you went that path.

U know any good sites to get a fuel pump for the 3.8L V6? I think I'm gonna go ahead and go with the performance pump. Which will last longer?

Yea, I think I'm going to go with the performance Walbro pump from APE. Think I'm going to get the LT1 Kit from there. It's a good price for a good pump. I was going to go with the Racetronix plug and play but this maybe just as good for a better price, plus they use the same pump.

Yep, the Racetronix is just a rebadged Walbro.

I just replaced my pump recently and found a pretty decent deal at Partsamerica.com which is the online version of Advance Auto Parts. I paid something like $228 and drove to a local store to pick it up and saved $50 over what the local store wanted to charge.
Looking closely at the pump it looked exactly like the OEM pump (number stamping and stickers) so I am pretty sure it is a reboxed GM pump. It put out enough fuel for me to go over 120 this weekend...
